Oklahoma City Thunder 2024-25 Season

[Bellaboo]

Depends on what happens in the playoffs. If we are horrible in the non SGA minutes again and lose in the 2nd round we might need to make a move for a playmaker.

Nikola Topic will be that playmaker.

[PhiAlpha]

What do you give up to get that playmaker.

you let Ajay and topic get healthy and see what they can do before doing anything.

[PhiAlpha]

Chet will never win a title, you all said Westbrook would win a title with the Thunder and it did not happen

Poop is back!

[G.Walker]

Y'all need to relax. Chet is a day-to-day ankle sprain. That happens. It's 100% normal.

I'm not really responding to Boop's posts, which are just a parody troll account.

Normal, let's be real, no one wants to admit Chet is injury prone. Well he is. We have already proven we can win without him, just shut him down until playoffs. And then hope the basketball gods will keep him healthy through that. At this point, there is no way we can lose the 1st seed unless we go like on a 10 game losing streak, which is very unlikely to happen.

Lighten doomsayers, Chet just sprained his ankle. That happens to every NBA player over the course of a season.

Probably give up Dort would be my first choice. Wallace can take his spot and a cheaper cost also. If Topic is as good as everyone says who does he still minutes from anyway?

[Laramie]

Nice to look ahead; but there are too many variables for next season. Close out 2024-25 with the pieces we currently have available. Dort, Joe, Jones, Wallace & Wiggins continue to step up on any given night with 2 having outstanding games with Thunder as a team having stellar defense.

[Laramie]

Isaiah Joe and Chet Holmgren are listed as OUT for today's game against the Spurs.

Let’s make sure Chet has no time to gel with his teammates. Some of these suggestions are hysterical in response to a day-to-day ankle sprain.

I don't know how some people here claim to have followed the team for years and then, in all seriousness, present these nonsensical hot takes. Just stunning.

Thank you for being a voice of reason.

I don't think we give up any of them next year until we see what we how the team looks with Topic, especially when everyone is locked down or has team options through the end of 2026-2027. Dort is playing the best basketball of his career, I'm sure they'll extend him through 2026-2027 and wait until after next season before making any decisions as to what direction they want to go with he, Caruso, and Wallace.

[PhiAlpha]

Nikola Topic will be that playmaker.

Fingers crossed.

The concept that the roster needs to be "fixed" because Holmgren twisted an ankle is amazing.

[Boop]

You realize Chet played in all 82 regular season games, 4 preseason games and 10 playoff games last year.

No one is listening to you. You are NOT facts.

One fully healthy season does not mean crap

[Boop]

Poop is back!

Is that all you can think of? Your comeback is lame, do better!

[PhiAlpha]

I mean I'll admit, it's the low hanging fruit LOL.

This.

He "gels" with his teammates on a daily basis I am sure. There is practices as well, he just doesn't need to play until the playoffs.

LOL. You can’t be serious.

Stop it.

I take it you have never played basketball at a high level and do not understand the importance of Chet and the value of him playing within the team concepts. He needs time to perfect the flow of his role in the various concepts and groups.

Were you for shutting KD down? He gets hurt every year. One of the greatest ever and you would have him only play at playoff time?

[dankrutka]

He "gels" with his teammates on a daily basis I am sure. There is practices as well, he just doesn't need to play until the playoffs.

When in NBA history have you seen a team shut down a player when healthy? Again, this is just a nonsensical suggestion. And, yes, he needs game reps with Hartenstein in particular. You can’t simulate it in practice.

[Rover]

Not touchy feely "gels". That's absurd to equate that with integrating in a actual game process. You must actually be trolling because anyone who has played team sports at a significant level actually knows the importance of getting actual game experience with other players, sets, and circumstances to have the most efficient performance as a TEAM.
